As mentioned in comments for an earlier version of this page, these instructions are primarily aimed at the user who wants to use the msys "info" command-line tool. It does not address setup or usage of any of the other info-format reader programs that are available. This page is also primarily directed at users who choose to execute mingw and msys tools in a cmd.exe window, and not at users who choose to execute the tools in an msys "sh.exe" window, whether that is a mintty window, an rxvt window or just a native sh.exe window.
